Hello,

I have created a question in which respondents have to register the time (in minutes) they have spent on various tasks per day for one week. It concerns an array text (only numbers) with a limit per field of 0 - 600 minutes (questioncode: q02).

In advance, I have asked a multiple choice question (questioncode: q01) in which they can indicate on which days they have actually worked. In this question I have used this solution ( Array number: set relevance equation in X-Scale ) to ensure that they only see the days that they have worked. I have also installed the plugin mentioned in this thread.

The problem I am currently facing is that, if I set the question to mandatory and a respondent has indicated that he has not worked one or more days, a message appears that not all (mandatory) fields have been filled in. This concerns the fields of the days that the respondent has not worked and are therefore not displayed.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Note: I have also used a script in the array question to create subtitles for the subquestions.

Hopefully your able to help me out!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
please send the lss export of these relevant questions.

I am confused about this

I have asked a multiple choice question

and

set relevance equation in X-Scale

Where is a x-scale in a multiple question?

Therefore a lss export will really show what you are doing.

Something went wrong with uploading the LSS export ( I thought I did that the first time). I've added it to the original post.

I set up the multiple choice question (q01) to determine for which days the respondent must fill in the second question. The problem arises with the array and making it mandatory in combination with relevance equation on the x scale (in the array question, q02).

Hi,
so  this is your problem.

This is obvious, because the cells are hidden by css and still in the DOM.

To solve it
set the question to "non-mandatory" and add a question validation equation, like
count(self)==10*count(that.q01)
Meaning: the number of filled cells in q02 is equal to 10 (number of taaks) * number of selected days in q01

Dear Joffm,

Thanks for your quick response and for the solution!

I already thought that the hidden fields were the problem. I just couldn't find a good solution for that. Your solution works well indeed! Thanks for that.

The only disadvantage of this is that the respondent already gets the (error) message before they have started filling in the fields. But that is not so bad in itself. But if there is a solution for that, I would like to hear it!

Thanks again!

Victor
